About this video

Join Oscar-nominated filmmaker Rian Johnson, creator of Knives Out, for a conversation about its newest installment, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.

Benoit Blanc is back. Returning for his most dangerous case yet in the third and darkest chapter of Rian Johnson’s murder mystery opus, Wake Up Dead Man follows Blanc (played by Daniel Craig) as he investigates a seemingly impossible murder in a small church town where all is not well in the pews. Featuring a stellar ensemble cast — Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Thomas Haden Church, and more — Wake Up Dead Man is a devilishly fun mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Hear Johnson discuss the making of the film — directing this all-star cast, stories from the set, what’s next in the Knives Out universe, and more.

Recorded Dec 09, 2025 at 92nd Street Y, New York.
